Erosion Prevention/Erosion Control

Erosion control is especially important in the Northland due to clay soils.
It is hard to “settle out”clays once they are suspended in water.
The best bet is to get your soils on the site stabilized so that they don’t
get carried away by stormwater runoff.

Once soil is suspended in water runoff, the goal is to slow down the water and let the sediment fall out. Controlling sediment
and turbid water discharge is vital to complying with your permit. Soil on the roads, in stormwter system pipes, in wetlands or
green areas off your site not only makes your site look bad not just to potential buyers, but to the owner of the project too!
